2023 Map of Silver Butte

About this map

Silver Butte stands as a prominent central landmark within this portion of the Blue Mountains, where the boundaries of the Umatilla National Forest and Whitman National Forest converge. The landscape is defined by the deep incision of the North Fork John Day River, which is protected here as the North Fork John Day Wild and Scenic River. Along its banks, small named points like Dixson Bar suggest historical activity in the river canyon, while higher elevations are marked by seasonal clearings such as Moon Meadow and China Meadow.
